Buried Alive: The Behavioural Response of the Mussels, Modiolus modiolus and Mytilus edulis to Sudden Burial by Sediment
Sedimentation in the sea occurs through natural processes, such as wave and tidal action,
which can be exacerbated during storms and floods. Changes in terrestrial land use, marine …
